Hi Everyone! I've gotten some great feedback on mushie recipes. So far here is my favorite:

Refried Beans, salsa, sour cream, and cheese! Sounds yummy!:biggrin:

Please share some of your recipes with us! Any good recipes that get veggies AND Protein in?

I know we're all in the same boat and compiling some winning recipes will definitely make the mushie phase go by much quicker :biggrin:

Thanks everyone!:biggrin2: Let me know some great ideas!

I like that recipe, it is a staple for me, though I add some canned chicken and puree it. It adds a bit more protein.

I like mashed cauliflower. Boil the cauliflower until very mushy, drain, add some ff ranch dressing and puree. Top with cheese (protein).

Hey that sounds good. I start mushy phase tmrw 8/1/08

Where can I find some of these recipes?

Can u give me the refried Beans recipe?

Thanks

I too partake in the wonderment that is refried beans with cheese and sour cream. It is soooooo yummy:tongue2: I also make chicken salad (put chicken through the food processor after being boiled with garlic, salt and pepper) then I add the new Kraft low fat mayo made with olive oil, a small amount of mustard (I like it like this) and the no sugar added sweet pickle relish, then salt, garlic powder and pepper to taste. It is simple, yet yummy. I also make tuna salad about the same way.

The recipe is as simple as that! Just use refried beans, sour cream, and salsa. Puree those together and sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top. voila!

another good recipe ive heard of is tomato sauce, ricotta, and chicken pureed.

these other recipes sound yummy, too! whoo hoo for more ideas.

anyone else have some recipes? im really looking to get in more vegetables. i love the cauliflower idea.

do you guys ever add anything with your mashed potatoes?

Hi, I am not banded yet, but constantly thinking about how I am going to make it through the liquid and mushie phase afterwards. One of my favorite recipes is a Soup with cauliflower it is wonderful and I believe definetly doable.

You bake your cauliflower with onions and garlic and olive oil. Then you boil it in chicken broth you will probably do that a little longer with the band because you want it real soft.

You put the veggies and broth(cooled alittle) in the blender and blend it till it is smooth. The original recipe calls for heavy cream but I am thinking the low carb milk or maybe skim milk. I have not started looking into powders and stuff to add protien if you know of any please let me know.

Thanks and hope you enjoy Emilie

For a nice "sweet treat", you can add the SF caramel flavored coffee syrup to ricotta cheese.

Also, I like to make a "fake" lasagna, ricotta mixed with a beaten egg and Italian seasoning, topped with marinara sauce and Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses and bake.

I make instant mashed potatoes with chicken broth instead of water, and add some powdered milk to give more protein.

Black bean soup is good too....one can of black beans, rinsed and drained, add salsa, and chicken broth, puree and heat individual servings. Add some chicken to it as well before pureeing if you like.

I add cheese to just about everything, and if I can put some powdered milk in it to add to the protein I do. Scrambled eggs with salsa and sour cream (and of course cheese!)

Oh, yeah! Cream of wheat! I add extra powdered milk to it too.
